Abstract (en)

Described herein is a variable-geometry intake manifold (3) for an internal-combustion engine (1); the intake manifold (3) is provided with: at least one intake pipe (9), which connects the intake manifold (3) to at least one cylinder (2) of the internal-combustion engine (1); a partialization device (13) for varying the geometry of the intake manifold (3) that has at least one partialization body (15), which is set inside the intake pipe (9) and is provided with a shaft (16) mounted so that it can rotate about an axis (18) of rotation; and at least one angular-position sensor (23), which is designed to determine the angular position of the shaft (16) about the axis (18) of rotation and has a permanent magnet (24) fixed on the shaft (16), and a reader (25), which is designed to read the orientation of the permanent magnet (24) and is set on the outside of the intake pipe (9) in the proximity of a wall (19) of the intake pipe (9) itself and in the proximity of the permanent magnet (24).
